You were blind to the locations, but not fully blind to the project idea, that would lessen the amount of blinding to some extent.
I see it like this: If the targets were bind then the scrambling of the targets would not have been necessary, it would not have made them more blind. (There is no more blind than blind).
In this case the scrambling was a good choice because the targets were not totally blind.
I understand that the amount of blinding is technical.
But is it not true that Double Blind means both the viewer and the agent submitting the task to the viewer is totally unaware of what the target is?
And this was the case - i nor any viewer knew what the locations were that we were describing?
this is classed as being BLIND??????????????????
When the SRI team told their viewers that an out bounder would be going somewhere within the San Fransisco area, and it was their job to describe the lcoation - this was also still blind as this information alone does not impart specific information about the target - dont you guys get this yet.
No offence slorri but your are talk silly - when we did the rv on this - there were no targets - targets were not chosen nor created till weeks AFTER we did the RV - you cant get any more blind that rving targets that dont yet exist. Im sorry but you giuys are just plain crazy if you think otherwise.
You are claiming that because I knew it was a project looking at earth locations - that this alone imparted information on targets that didn't exist when I viewed them for it to NOT be BLIND - that then allowed me to nail every single one of the 2008 targets even naming some?
Much nodding here too ... to my way of thinking the crux of the targets, ie the central as yet unknown answer to the viewing enquiry, is climate change so imo the viewers were not blind.
The viewers had to describe locations and keep an eye out for any climate data - but if we didn't describe accurate locations then any data wouldn't matter - this is BLIND RV - you guys need to get off your butts and read the articles form Joe and people using this thing in the real world - front loading is only so if it imparts specific information.
Its like saying that when I do a missing person case - its not blind - because the mere fact that I know Im looking for a person tells me so much that I'm not blind - let alone that the target may be one of BILLIONS - how can this not be a blind target?
